Bethesda Basically Confirmed The Elder Scrolls 6’s Setting

XBOX CEO Asha Sharma took to X on August 11, 2026 to reveal that she had just seen a live playthrough of The Elder Scrolls 6, and while hearing that Bethesda's long-awaited RPG is apparently coming together nicely is obviously exciting, I and many others simply can't stop looking at the way she wrote its name. In her X post, Sharma referred to the game as "The Elder Scrolls VI: *********," using eight asterisks after the title, which could have easily just been her way of hiding whatever Bethesda showed her. But then Bethesda replied to her using the exact same number of asterisks, and that's where I have a hard time believing the eight is meaningless. Now, maybe this is copium, but if the number of asterisks didn't matter at all, there would have been no reason for Bethesda to match Sharma's formatting so precisely. And because the series has historically tied its titles to important locations, it feels like we may have just been given one of our biggest clues yet about the game's setting.
